My husband, son and I live in California. My Father in Law passed away last year in India. Due to Covid restrictions, we were unable to come to India but participated through zoom as my brother in law, who is the eldest son lives in India. This year also we were unable to visit India for the first year ceremony. At that time, we had prepared to perform the sharadham ceremony but were told that we should not to do a separate ceremony but participate with my brother in law.
My question is about the logistics around this. Hope someone can clarify. 1. It is usually 8.30 or 9 pm in California by the time the ceremonies begin in Bangalore. Do we then not perform nithya pooja that entire day? 2. How do we manage food restrictions as we cannot fast the entire day due to health issues 3. The thithi is usually different and does that have to be taken in account. 4. Given all these, can my husband begin to do sharadham seperately from the next year.
Thank you very much!
